I have been searching for the parents and ancestry of a man with several
aliases. He is my 2nd Great Grandfather. The last information from my cousin
(Tom Hannen) shows his name to be WILLIAM HARRISON TURNER. Below is what we
have found on him. I have underlined the names that he used throughout his
life. If anyone has any information on this TURNER, please email me directly.
Thanks in advance.

I forgot to include an important piece of information in my previous query
about W.H. TURNER aka William Harrison TURNER. His obituary listed a sister -
Mrs. Mary Bien of St. Louis. Does this name sound familiar to anyone? Again,
thanks!

I recently started searching for information on my husband's family.
What little information I have is shown below:
Pleman Samuel Burnett(e) (could be Samuel Pleman Burnett) married
Virginia Overton (could be Milicent Virginia Overton). Their son was
Oscar Lee Burnett(e) who married Louella Peters, dau. of James and Lou
Jane Peters. Oscar died October 29, 1938, buried in Bay Creek Cemetery,
Loganville, GA. Louella died April 1, 1948 and is also buried in Bay
Creek Cemetery, Loganville, GA. One of their children, Grover William
Burnette, was my father-in-law. Other siblings were: Mae (married G. K.
Shaw), Matibel (married Elmer Smith), Clarence Lyman, Jack Rowdes
(married Florence?), Pleman Samuel (married Murdy ?), Simmie Courtland,
and Curtis. Most of the children of Oscar Lee and Louella stayed close
to the Atlanta and Loganville area.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
